    I’m typically a crown guy but for a while have been wanting a modern Omega. I have a 1960s Deville that was passed down to me when my grandfather died 30 years ago and has sat in my drawer until just a few years ago when I fixed it up.

    For my first modern omega , it was always going to be a speedy and ended up getting a classic speedy pro moonwatch w hesalite. Absolutely love it (though still undecided about the bracelet). For another first, I acquired it, brand new in box, not from an AD or OB, but instead from a gray dealer / trusted seller who gets rave reviews on TRF and now has a physical store that I had the chance to see in person due to a business trip. It was as pleasant an experience as dealing with an AD. DavidSW and his partner Dan were a joy to deal with and meet, and I highly recommend them.

    Psyched to have a Speedy at last!

    Excellent!! Welcome to the ΩF! I'd add a slightly different "welcome", but Speedy ownership is a subculture all its own here, and I'm not a member of that particular group yet ... It's next on my list :thumbsup:

    Welcome to OF! It’s a great site. What is the name of your gray dealer’s new store? Where is it located?

    Welcome!

    A modern speedy to go with my vintage one is definitely on my to-do list! There's something intangibly special about being the only owner.

    I've seen the site but didn't know they were also brick and mortar, do you have an address? Looks like I'm gonna be forced to go to Orlando in May and I can't seem to locate the address on the website. Maybe a visit there would brighten up my trip.;)

    I love my speedy also...favorite by a long shot. When I first got it I was so enamored by it i think I just stared at it for a 2 days.
